Mainshaft threads

[haggis]

Guys, Does anyone know the size of the threads on the mainshaft retaining nut kicker side? Haggis.

Haggis if you are talking about the mainshaft ball bearing nut the thread count is 18

Panz4ever,
Yep I think thats the one, right hand side , holds mainshaft to roller bearing, what size is it ?
1 1/8" fine thread? Haggis. My theads got a little beat up on the shaft , going to see if I can chase them with a die while it;s still in the case...should be fun....just want to be certain about the size!!! Haggis.

The mainshaft is as hard as the hubs o' hell, so you will probably chip a very expensive die. Even if it wasn't an interrupted thread.
(Meaning a slot or two cut through the threads for a lockwasher, not meaning how I barged in on this discussion.)

Cotten,
"Threadus interuptus"....
The very first thread on the shaft got a little rounded when the old nut spun off under power.
Just need to clean it up a little, dont want to hazard crossthreading the new one on.
Is it worth the try to chase them, still trying to picture what sort of contraption I 'll have to construct to hold the die for use in that confined space. Haggis.

Use a fine file.

Haggis, use a 5/8 by 18 die and it should work

How about a thread file?
